Mindful Parenting - Testimonial #2


At the age of 7, my father took me to Satya Sai Baba Mandir and introduced Baba's concepts.

Baba always used to talk about Satyam, Ahimsa, Shanthi and Prema.

Since a very early age, all those got imprinted in my mind which made me to be loving and kind to everyone around.

At the age of 8, he started practising yoga. Because he knew children won't listen if it is said, but they will imitate what parents do.
That made me to become a passionate yoga student.

He used to narrate Bhagavad Gita Slokas and Ramayana, Mahabharat stories in his free time. 

That was his way of making me understand the essence of life.

At the age of 9, he introduced SSY(Sidha Samadhi Yoga) to me. 
I learnt how to be polite and respectful towards Gurus.

At the age of 10, he introduced me to Pyramid society and taught Meditation. He introduced me to the founder of Pyramid Spiritual Society Movement, Brahmarshi Patriji, who always used to say:

1) Be kind and compassionate towards animal and plant kingdom.

2) Be aware on what you speak.

3) Be Positive always.

4) You create your own reality.

Those words could change me completely. I realised that everyone should be treated equally irrespective of what they are because God resides in all.

At the age of 11, he resigned his government job as a civil engineer and started his full time service in constructing pyramids. That incident completely made me understand that; Everyone will have their own purpose of life. And we should always go with what our inner voice says and not with what the external world expects from us.

At the age of 15, when I was left with chicken pox marks on the face and kept on worrying seeing myself in mirror- he said beauty is not something that is related to physical appearance. 
And that is why I try to be beautiful from within always.

At the age of 16, when I suffered from jaundice, without giving medication- he supported me to cure myself with the help of Fasting therapy. He said: Body heals itself If provided proper environment and rest. That day I have decided to become a naturopath and I am today. A proud naturopath preaching everyone that Body heals itself. Respect your body.

At the age of 17, when I couldn't secure enough marks in mathematics exam to pass, he said education is not to measure your talent, Take another chance and move ahead in your life. Worrying is not the solution but work for it.

In the same year, when I got seat in a far college and didn't wanted to go away from him, he said- If my love and friendship is stopping you from reaching your goal; there is no use of my presence in your life.

At the age of 20, we both went to Himalayas as per my long term dream and wish.
He asked to stop the car near a hill and said: What are you going to do if a landslide occurs here right now ?
I didn't had an answer. And he said, Remember to be happy always irrespective of what is happening around you as nothing is permanent in life. 

At the age of 22, he told me to finish my master's too as the world is waiting for me and I have to rock on.

At the age of 24, he always says me: Dude, don't worry about your life partner. You will always get what you wish for. So be aware on what you wish :p (Law of attraction he taught me)

Through out my journey of 24years with him, till today...

I see a friend in him.

I see Kindness.

I see a guide.

I see a Guru.

I see a responsible father.

I see support.

I see encouragement.

I see concern.

I never saw anger.

I never saw competition and comparison.

I never saw frustration.

I never saw judgement.

I call him as Nani and he never asked why are you calling me with a Nick name.

He never bossed me saying respect me, I am not your friend to be called with a Nick name.

He is my inspiration for #Mindfulparenting

I am greatful and Proud to say that I am the daughter of a mindful Parent.

Because a mindful Parent is the one who spends qualitative time in upbringing his child, teaches life's morals and ethics, encourages and support's without judging and after all who is courageous to answer the world who questions' saying Aren't you spoiling your daughter with too much freedom ????

He is the man behind the screen who inspires me every moment to achieve more and more and more in life.
